Concept2 Forum

While away from home last week, I recorded some pieces done while working out on a "foreign" PM5 onto my own flash drive and then used the convenient Concept2 Utility to upload the data to my online Log. That all worked very nicely but it turns out that the date on the "foreign" PM5 was set to sometime back in 2014 and now that 2014 date has been transferred to my online Log.

I would like to edit the 2014 date to show the correct 2018 date without losing any of the rest of the workout data captured on the flash drive but I did not see a way to make this chage via the Concept2 Utility. Likewise, I don't seem to be able to edit the 2014 date now showing in my online Log.

Is there a way to achieve this?

The answer is maybe.

I reverse engineered the date encoding for the PM3 / PM4 logcard. If the format is the same I could edit 2014 records to have 2018.

I don't use a USB stick myself and Ergdata will ask to reset the clock on the PM4 / PM5 when it's wrong.

Send me a private message and I'll send back my notes on the rewriting the old proprietary format.

Thanks for getting back to me, Citroen; I appreciate your offer of help. I think I'll respectfully pass on the code refactoring and simply delete the 2014 entries in my online log and replace them with the basic correct date, time, distance stats. The lesson learned is that in future be sure to check the PM datetime setting when I set down at a new erg. Cheers.
